I am using below link to access data from google sheet:
https://sheets.googleapis.com/v4/spreadsheets//values/?key="API_Key"
Now I don't want data every time unless it is modified. Every time I will make API call and if the data is modified then I want those specific data rather than having complete data from the sheet. Or if getting specific data is not feasible then complete data will also work for me.
Any help is appreciated!
you'll still need to get the list of revisions before you get the latest one. Its discussed more in Manage Revisions of the Drive documentation. Once you've called the revisions:list, just pick the Revision you want from the list (conditional loop)

I have a form that a user will input data into, which will then send the added record to the backend of the database (I split the database so that the frontend is accessible to users while the backend is hidden). The frontend also includes a query with no filters, so that it will full portray the backend. This way, users can either input data via the form one record at a time, or add multiple records to the query (and therefore the backend) by copy/pasting from an excel sheet with a specified format (so that the data will be pasted in the same order as the fields of the query).
I want the user to not be able to edit the data/record once it is submitted, but I still want them to be able to view it in the query and/or paste multiple records in the "(New)" record row. Is there a way to make all entered records "read only" per se, but still have the ability to enter new data (i.e. make user unable to edit previous records, but be able to add new records)?
I used this forum as a reference, but the only solution I've come up with was to make the Recordset Type "Snapshot", which does all that I want, except it disables the ability to add a new record.

I've searched far and wide, but unfortunately haven't come up with anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I am trying to ingest some data from google sheets into a warehouse and don't want to read the entire file every time. Is there a way to only fetch the modified rows without changing the source sheet?
I am afraid this is not possible. There exists a revisions API for drive files, however, it can only export the whole file and not limit it to modified rows only.
If you still want to implement this feature, I suggest you check out Google Apps Script. Using it, you could implement a solution that:
Detects when a row is modified (using an onEdit trigger).
After detecting it, it can copy the whole, modified row into another Sheet or Spreadsheet (see Range class).
That sheet/spreadsheet would be the one used for the ingestion of your application. After it is ingested, it could be cleaned up (or the index of the last ingested row could be locally saved, as previously mentioned).
I have a .doc template I use for building CVs for many friends.
I'm trying to automate this process using simple library/program, for exmaple, that can accept data like name, email, phone number, job title, and can create the .doc automatically.
What framework can be used for that to make it fastest i can?
Thanks,
Tal
Where exactly are keeping this template and are your friends plugging in the data or are you doing it all yourself?
No matter what, you're basically looking to do a data merge. An example of a data merge is a mail merge:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/294683/how-to-use-mail-merge-to-create-form-letters-in-word
The same thing really applies to what you're accomplishing to do.
You can take a template, specify the fields that require variable data (aka the different information that's changing), and then just use a spreadsheet to pull the data from and plug it in.
Now the question you'll probably be wondering next is how data merges use spreadsheets. The way data merges work is that each column you set with data in it, that should correspond to the changing lines in your template. I strongly recommend you read up on this further - it's not that difficult to do once you get the hang of it.
The last question is probably how you'll compile the data into this spreadsheet. Are your friends going to fill out an online form perhaps? If so, you'll need an online form of some sort perhaps, so you'll need to use some PHP, have a database to store the information from the form, and then just go to the table and export the information as a .csv file after you see you have enough data populated in your database table to do a data merge.
If you don't have access to MS Office, I'm sure you can accomplish this in OpenOffice.org instead (which is free/open-source).
Hope this helps.
At my job we do data merges all the time - for mail merges, for letters that need to be personally address to individual recipients, and we do this for people who need to print dozens of different business cards for different employees. We take their business card template and just do a data merge from a spreadsheet to save time on needing to set up individual files. P.S. you can also use Adobe inDesign for this, if you know how to use it.
does anyone know the google script code so that I can convert a Google Sheet into a PDF then email it to one single email address (mine) at a set time daily?
The information is only in column A and up to row 30 (may increase or decrease depending on the tasks I have on hand - sheet is my task list!)
Not a techie here but know the importance of code in making life more efficient, so I would like to try implementing it myself. Appreciate any help!
Here's a Code may help you it worked great with me !
Github Link
Note: the code make all Spreadsheet into pdf because there's no way to get just a sheet depends my infos if i'm not wrong
if you want to Convert just do this trick:
create another Spreadsheet with one sheet and do import range and don't forget to add the ID of new Spreadsheet on the code !
i had problem like that and this is how i solved it
So I want to transfer information from a returned order from our website and I want to click a button and transfer some of that orders information (date it was received, order #, part#, quantity of # being returned.).
What's the fastest way to do this?
As of right now we are doing google docs spreadsheet to keep track of what is being returned and I am writing down every return manually.
Can we create a script or program that runs everytime this task is performed? It doesn’t seem like a big task but how do I do that?
You can check this API https://developers.google.com/sheets/ This allows for manipulation of data in the Google Excel sheets.
